|
|
|
|
Once you have installed the server, you MUST download a map set.
|
|
Note: this server has been tested only with 'bigworld maps'.
|
|
|
|
You have three options for maps:
|
|
|
|
1) Grab one of the installers for either 'smallworld maps' or 'bigworld maps'.
|
|
|
|
Launch it, point to where you installed Crossfire Server, install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Grab map set from official SourceForge page.
|
|
|
|
The following sets are available:
|
|
* big world maps, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13833&package_id=15918
|
|
|
|
Note: you need Winzip, ZipGenius, UltimateZip or equivalent to unzip the files.
|
|
Note: Make SURE that this tool will NOT convert Unix newline to Windows, else it will NOT work.
|
|
|
|
Unzip the maps in the share/maps of where you installed Crossfire Server
|
|
(typically C:\Program Files\Crossfire Server)
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Get maps from CVS
|
|
|
|
This ensures you always have the latest maps.
|
|
|
|
CVS instructions for Crossfire are located at
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=13833
|
|
|
|
Fire you favorite CVS tool, and get either 'maps' or 'maps-bigworld'
|
|
module.
|
|
Make SURE, ABSOLUTELY SURE, that your tool will NOT convert Unix newline
|
|
to Windows newline. It will NOT work if conversion occurs.
|
|
|
|
Move'em to share/maps of where you installed Crossfire Server.
|
|
(if you picked 'maps-bigworld', rename the directory to 'maps')
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: server has only been tested with 'bigworld' maps. Small world
|
|
maps are not supported anymore.
